Medical Image Analysis
At Microsoft Research Cambridge we are working on new technology to enable automatic and semiautomatic analysis of n-dimensional medical images. The results of our research will be of great help in measuring anomalies, detecting possible tumors and increasing the efficiency and accuracy of radiologists and clinicians. Ultimatelly, patients all over the globe will benefit from this technology.
